“Lemond was in trouble. He had a bout of diarrhea. He rode by me with thirty kilometers to go, surrounded by his domestiques bringing him to the front. God the smell was terrible. It was rolling down his legs. I know if it was me I would stop. But then I am not capable of winning the Tour de France. He is, and I suppose that’s the difference.”
— Paul Kimmage

Just one of the reasons why Lemond was THE straight baller of his day and the greatest AMERICAN cyclist of ALL-TIME and you DC hacks should appreciate that he is generally considered the greatest “off the couch” racer of all time (although recent shots suggests that he might break the couch)
